BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Traditionally, people have been using various hair accessory devices tostyle and hold their hair in desired positions such as a hairclip.However, people often face multiple limitations in their usage of suchhairclips.

One common limitation is that the traditional hairclip is not adaptableto different hair lengths and styles. For instance, when a user decidesto change his or her hair length or style, he or she would no longer beable to use such ordinary hairclip, but rather purchase a differenthairclip or not utilize a hairclip at all.

Yet, another common limitation or problem with hairclips often found inthe prior art is that such devices may cause hair loss and pain upondetaching the device away from a person's head. Often, hairclips whethermade of plastic, metal, or other synthetic materials, include springdevices, which cause the hairclip to snap into a closed position, oftenhurting or causing painful contact with the user's hands or head.

For example, once a person places such spring-loaded devices and decidesto remove it to reposition, he or she may have to bare pain every timedue to the toughness of detaching said device. Furthermore, a greatamount of hair loss may result from taking such types of hairclips off.

Additionally, ordinary hairclips are typically designed only to performa single function, thus when a user desires to apply a different hairstyle or implement different hair products, they must utilize multipledevices. For instance, a woman may who desire to uses both a hairclipand a headband for a particular hair style, may require to keep eachindividual device with her, for example, in her purse. This isundesirable since it is often a waste of space, and typically moreexpensive.

Therefore, it is desirable to provide a hair device that is adjustableand adaptable to different hair lengths and styles, and configured insuch a manner so that it may be removed softly and smoothly, withoutcausing harm to the user's hands or damage the user's hair, and may beutilized for a variety of functions. The present invention overcomes theabove described disadvantages of presently existing hair accessories orfastening devices, and it is to these ends that the present inventionhas been developed.

Nevertheless, comb-like protrusions 205must be designed so as to keep hair accessory device securely positionedas desired by the user. For this reason, comb-like protrusions 205 arenot only teeth to keep the hair accessory device in place but may alsobe used as a comb to first ensure that the user's strands of hair arepositioned and smoothed out as desired.

At one end of curved body 203 is attachment component 207. Attachmentcomponent 207 may be any type of attachment component known in the artconfigured for magnetic coupling. Attachment component 207 may beconstructed of any metallic material that may be magnetized such asalloys containing nickel, iron or cobalt. Attachment component 207 mayalso be constructed of metals attracted to magnets such as iron, nickelor cobalt and be within the scope of the present invention so long asit's opposing attachment component is magnetized and will couple withattachment component 207.

For example, and in no way limiting the scope of the present invention,in one embodiment attachment component 207 is magnetized and constructedof a nickel alloy while attachment component 208 may be constructed ofsteel comprising mostly of iron. In another embodiment attachmentcomponent 207 may be constructed of steel and attachment component 208may be magnetized and constructed of a metal alloy containing iron.Nevertheless, any other embodiments wherein attachment component 207 maybe magnetically coupled with attachment component 208 are within thescope of this invention.

In another embodiment, a set of elastic members at both ends of curvedbody 405 are coupled to attachment component 409 and attachmentcomponent 411 of first member 401 and attachment component 410 and 412of second member 402. Nevertheless, elastic member 407 allows for hairaccessory device 400 to hold different amounts of hair depending on aperson's desired hair style, or hair length, so that hair accessorydevice 400 may be utilized by different individuals and/or for differentoccasions. Whereas before, a user might have to carry multiple hairaccessories for different occasions, with the present invention only oneis required.

Turning to the next figure, FIG. 5 illustrates an alternativeembodiment, wherein a hair accessory device in accordance with thepresent invention may be transformed into one or more configurations.More specifically, a hair accessory device may be configured as a hairclip or through the use of a pivoting mechanism, an additional latchingmechanism, or any other type of coupling device that allows for twocomponents such as first and second members 501 and 502 to be configuredas a head band.

For example and in no way deviating from the scope of the presentinvention, a pair of magnetic attachment components 503 and 504 may beconfigured to pivot when coupled together. In the illustratedembodiment, hair accessory device 500 comprises of first and secondmembers 501 and 502, each component further including attachmentcomponents 503 and 504.

Component 503 may be made of plastic or a hard rubber-like material thathas been preformed with a twist in a manner so that it may interlockwith component 504, which has also been made of a similar material butwith a complementary shape so that when members 501 and 502 areinterlocked, they form a hair band, since first and second members 501and 502 are curved, when in interlocked positioned (having pivotedaround a common axis) they form a single curved body with the comb-likeprotrusions 505 and 506 facing in a forward direction so as to conformwith a person's head rather than poke them. An individual may use thecomb-like protrusions 505 and 506 to comb their hair back while allowinghair accessory device to securely hold a particular hair style, forexample, hold the person's hair back in place and away from their faceas presently existing hair bands do; the advantage being that hairaccessory device 500 may be used as a hair band, a single hair clip(i.e. using just one component such as component 501) or as two separatehair accessories (i.e. using both components such as component 501 and502 separately).

In alternative embodiments such pivoting components may be any type ofpivoting attachment component known in the art configured with apivoting mechanism that permits a first member to rotate andsimultaneously be unfolding outwards. Similar to attachment component209, such pivoting attachment component may be constructed of anymaterial such that it may be securely magnetically coupled to itspivoting attachment component counterpart, for example, component 210.

Once transformed into headband, such hair accessory device may be wornso that its comb-like protrusions point slightly downward from saidheadband. By pointing downwards into the person's hair, its comb-likeprotrusions help secure the headband on a person's head whilesimultaneously keeping a person's hair in place.

Turning to the last figure, FIG. 6 is an illustration of anotherembodiment of the present invention. Hair accessory device 600 comprisesof an elastic member 601 attached to attachment component 602 at one endand a second attachment component 603 at the other end.

Like elastic member 407, elastic member 601 may also be any type ofelastic member known in the art, configured to stretch and contracteasily as it is wound around a gathered amount of hair to securely holda person's ponytail or any styled hair securely in place. Hair accessorydevice 600 may be wound around a gathered amount of hair, which may bethin or thick depending on the preferences of the person, elastic member601 is kept tightly wound around a gathered amount of hair; attachmentcomponent 602 and 603 are magnetically coupled together.

Like attachment component 207, attachment component 602 and attachmentcomponent 603 may be of any type of attachment component known in theart comprising of magnetic properties. To style a person's hair,attachment component 602 is held in place while attachment component 603is used to loop elastic member 601 repeatedly around a gathered amountof hair. Attachment components 602 and 603 attract when in closeproximity due to their magnetic properties allowing for ease offastening of the two components to style a person's hair such as in aponytail. This is especially the case when styling a pony tail directlyat the back of the head.

The use of magnetically coupling attachment components 602 and 603 alsoincrease the ease of disassembling the ponytail. Simply pulling apartattachment components 602 and 603 so that the magnetic properties ofattachment component 602 no longer exert a force on attachment component603 is enough to take out the ponytail. This minimizes hair breakage,excessive pulling of hair, entanglement, or any other type of damagethat may cause a user undesirable results such as any associated painthat occurs when removing a hair accessory device to undue a ponytail.
